Today i had alot of reading to do so i went to the Memorial Union (MU) and sat in the lounge. I have been to italy and seem some amazing castles with their beautiful architecture and decor, and i have to say that the lounge is just as pretty. there is a marble stair case leading up to it, when you get in there there are two fire places at each end of the room. a giant rug covers the wood floor, while artisan couches and chairs are in the room. there is also a grand piano which a man was playing... i love the sound of the piano. in the two rear corners of the room there are two spiral staircases. i chose to sit in a chair with a little side table that looked out over the campus. as i was listening to my ipod and reading i would randomly look up to see what people were doing. at one point i saw a puppy with its owner and a family with small children petting it, i saw a couple holding hands and showing a great deal of affection, an RA for our hall was walking by looking pissed off, two guys headed to the tennis courts, some soroity girls walking and laughing, and i think i would have to say the best thing i saw was the street empty, and the interlude to Sparks by Coldplay came on and the leaves started to fall. Fall is my favorite season. its like a begining, a new clean slate. its when change happens, and not just the season change, but life changes. i can be found the rest of fall and in through the winter on sunday afternoons sudying in the MU lounge watching the leaves change color and fall, and the snow silently come down. come spring i will need to find a new place.
